Oh, silly me. How could I not notice I had pressed caps lock? Well, since I was not allowed to post before, perhaps I can elaborate a bit on this one.

Kudos to Allen for setting up some of the matches, making round 1 a little bit more fun. DOOM looked as good as it could possibly could here. If youre breaking 86% on anything, youre likely worth something. At the very least, if you were worried what a Bethesda backlash might do, today was not the to start worrying further. Although of course, DOOM is not really what the issues have been about.

DOOM made as big a scare as it could coming into next round. Im sure that if Resident Evil 2 had faced anything just worth a little bit, we wouldve seen more people jump on the upset train. Imagine what happens if Resident Evil 2 got to face Bloodstained for instance. That wouldve been fun. DOOM was still going into round 2 as a major underdog, but theres no denying it looked great today.

However, as the contest proceeded, it became more and more clear that INSIDE is simply that weak. It ended up being the single worst game in the bracket according to the x-stats. It doesnt matter that the x-stats are favorable towards the latter half of the bracket, it still ends up there. Imagine how low it couldve become if it had been under the layers of SFF that the especially bottom half of division 3 were in. It couldve aimed at records there! Turns out not everything is worth anything just because its indie, but I dont think many of us were surprised here. Its not like people are just voting for the lesser name and INSIDE has had just about as little exposure as you can get. Im surprised it made the bracket, and I wonder if it wouldve had if not for its name being all in capital letters.

Let me just take a moment to talk about the game a little. I usually dont do this too much in these, but I know someone whos been working as a sound designer on the game and a lot of small games similar to it. He has also been making sounds for CD project red in the past. Were not close, but I always check out his stuff and he often shares some insider knowledge (pun intended). I was very happy and positively surprised when I saw this game made it to the field. Did you know that a lot of the development team behind INSIDE are Danish? Probably not because you barely know about the game, but its good! Definitely worth the few hours it takes.
